Geocache Description:

With the exception of the final 30 or 40 feet, which requires walking onto a field of stones, the terrain is level and paved.

The cache container is one of those nifty, and very realistic looking, fake rock hide-a-keys. In order to determine the location of the stash, complete the puzzle below by examining the mural at the posted coordinates and substituting the letters with their corresponding numeric values.

Cache location: N40° A B . C D E W074° F G . H I J

A = __ = # open windows

B = __ = # street lamps

C = __ = # people on 2nd floor

D = __ = # animals standing on street

E = __ = # people wearing bow ties

F = __ = # bank windows

G = __ = # letters in artist's first name

H = __ = # of 2nd floor windows with people in them

I = __ = # people wearing glasses

J = __ = # people with hats

IMPORTANT!  PLEASE ALWAYS RETURN THE CACHE CONTAINER TO THE EXACT SPOT WHERE IT WAS FOUND. Before picking it up, please be prepared to put something in the place of the cache, in the exact spot where the cache container was, as a placeholder. After signing in you will then be able to return the cache container to precisely the same place where it was. This is important because I have a few line-of-sight reference points with which I can help future seekers find it - and it is also my way of finding my way back to it. If it is left in any other spot it will render it nearly impossible for me to maintain... thank you in advance for your thoughtfulness!

Enjoy and GOOD LUCK!
